Stop Dreading the Holidays. Navigate gatherings without losing yourself.
A 5 module, self paced, lifetime access course for neurodivergent adults to power up boundaries and communicate your needs.
Are you feeling anxious about The Holiday period already?
The family, friends and workplace gatherings (or talk about them) where you have to perform "normal." The exhausting small talk and forced cheerfulness. The sensory nightmare of crowded spaces, bright lights, and constant noise. The guilt when you can't be the person everyone expects.
You're not alone. And you don't have to white-knuckle your way through another holiday season.

WHAT IF THIS YEAR COULD BE DIFFERENT?
What if you could:
Set boundaries without feeling selfish.
Communicate your needs clearly. Protect your energy without guilt. Navigate family dynamics with confidence. Actually enjoy parts of the holidays.
This course gives you practical strategies to survive and maybe even enjoy the festive season while staying true to yourself.
Here is a short introduction to the CARE Model Used in This course:
This is an excellent course, I did it last year. I can't recommend it highly enough, and the insights stayed with me way after the season ended
 Course attendee

This course is for you if:

  • You're neurodivergent, or a parent to neurodivergent children and already dreading Christmas gatherings (or even talk of them) because you know you'll spend the entire time masking, people-pleasing, and pushing through sensory overwhelm
  • You want practical boundary-setting skills that work beyond Christmas - not just tips to "survive the day" but strategies you can use with family, friends, and colleagues all year
  • You're ready to stop feeling guilty every time you prioritise your own needs, and you want scripts, frameworks, and support to actually implement boundaries (not just think about them)

This course is NOT for you if:

  • You're looking for therapy or treatment for mental health conditions - this is coaching and education using therapeutic frameworks, not clinical treatment
  • You want someone to tell you that boundaries are selfish or that you just need to "try harder" to fit in - this course is about self-advocacy, not performance
  • You're not willing to be uncomfortable - setting boundaries requires practice, and sometimes family members won't like it (I'll support you through this, but the work is yours to do)
                                                                                 




“Alice's knowledge and expertise with tons of compassion meant I was able to start setting boundaries with family members that I had never been able to before” MarieG

Welcome! I'm Alice Bramhill

I'm an Author (I Need My Space (but I Like You Too!)  registered mental health nurse, Interpersonal Psychotherapist & coach with lived experience of neurodivergence. Diagnosed with ADHD at 47 and autism at 50, I spent decades not understanding why all gatherings, but especially Christmas gatherings left me completely depleted.
I'm also a parent to two audhd children, which means I navigate family dynamics from multiple angles.
I'm a recovering people-pleaser who used to say yes to everything, mask through every gathering, and then spend days recovering in silence. I've done the hard work of unmasking, setting boundaries, and rebuilding relationships on my terms.
Why I'm running this course:
Because Christmas shouldn't require you to perform a version of yourself that leaves you burnt out for weeks.
I bring together professional expertise in interpersonal psychotherapy, nervous system knowledge, and the honest reality of what it's actually like to navigate family expectations when you're neurodivergent.
This isn't about positive thinking or "managing" your way through. It's about practical strategies that protect your energy and help you show up authentically - at Christmas and beyond.
I know how hard it is to set boundaries with family. I also know it's possible, and that it changes everything.

THE FOUNDATION: VALUES, BODY WISDOM & BOUNDARIES 
Throughout this course, you'll learn to: 

Connect to your values
Your boundaries aren't arbitrary rules or rigid walls.
They're filters that let the good stuff in and keep the draining stuff out.
They're in service of what matters most to you.
We'll help you identify your core values so you know exactly what you're protecting when you set a boundary.
Trust your body's feedback
Your body knows when a boundary has been crossed before your conscious mind catches up.
That tight chest, that knot in your stomach, that sudden exhaustion - that's information.
We'll teach you how to tune into these signals and use them as your early warning system for when limits need to be set.
Through body scans, breath work, and somatic practices, you'll learn to befriend your nervous system instead of fighting it.
Reframe what boundaries actually are.
Boundaries aren't walls that keep everyone out.
They're not about being cold or distant.
They're filters.
They let in authentic connection while filtering out what drains you.
They protect what you value most so you can show up fully in the relationships that matter.
When you're grounded in your values and connected to your body's wisdom, boundary-setting stops feeling arbitrary and starts feeling essential.

THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF:

You're neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, otherwise neurodivergent, undiagnosed, diagnosed or self-identified).
You already feel anxious about upcoming family, friend & workplace gatherings.
You struggle with boundaries around the holidays.
You mask heavily in family settings.
You need practical strategies, not just "be positive" advice.
You're ready to prioritise your wellbeing this season.
You want to understand what you're protecting, not just how to say no.
You're looking for insights and practical tools that go beyond Christmas and New Year - tools you'll return to all year round whenever relationships feel challenging.
You're a parent of neurodivergent children and need to navigate grandparents or other family members who don't understand your child's needs - or dismiss them as "bad behaviour" or "fussiness."
You're advocating for your child's needs when perhaps you didn't have those accommodations yourself growing up, and family members question why "things are different now."
